GC2P389 The Secret Box (Unknown Cache) in North West England, United Kingdom created by ReSPEKD

This cache has been archived.

ReSPEKD: Visited the cache site today following the report of a nest of eggs nearby.
There was indeed a nest right where the cache should have been, sadly the eggs as well as the cache were nowhere to be seen.
Decided to archive this to protect the local wildlife.
Will hopefully obtain another 'secret box' and find a new location.

Geocache Description:

This is a 2 stage multi-cache.

Stage 1 is at the coordinates above and includes "The Secret Box".
You must work out how to open the secret compartment and divulge the secrets of the box..... which just happen to be the coordinates to the final cache.

Stage 1 is in a smallish camo lock-and-lock container.
Both the puzzle and the cache are placed quite close to each other, near the start of a footpath/bridleway off the very busy Congleton Road.
Please take care if completing this by car when pulling onto Congleton Road.

The box was given to me by an elderley chinese gentleman, he said "only those enlightened with the wisdom of the owl and the determination of the tiger will divulge the secrets of the box"

Please be careful not to break the box, it does have a secret compartment or drawer, it does not require brute force.
****THE ONLY TOOLS REQUIRED ARE YOUR FINGERTIPS****

Please replace as found with the Silica Gell in place to reduce the risk of the wood swelling.

The final cache is a medium sized lock-and-lock box, room for log book, swaps, TB's etc.

Have you got what it takes to divulge the secrets of the box?

Good Luck.

Well deserved Congratulations to RickyB_uk for FTF and to Khoomfay for STF.
